    Yeah the NES came out when I was five, and all my friends kids and my family’s kids are out of high school now. You can casually tell people you play video games and no one bats an eye anymore. More often they’ll ask you what you’re playing. It’s nice.

      Yeah, it’s nice that such a big cultural shift happened around this.

      I find it odd when i go to a random barber who is 19-25 or so asks me what i like. I tell them video games, but it never results into anything, because to them videogames are usually fifa or call of duty. They have never even heard of the games i play. Compared to when i was like 10, everyone seemed to play the same games.
